I am wanting to get some advice on whether or not this software would be helpful or feasible to use for our large public school site.

We are currently working on a site redesign utilizing Joomla. Our school district has 12 schools and we want to divide the site into 12 "mini" sites using subdomains of the root domain. Basically the main site would be districtname.edu and the rest would be a subdomain; for example, the high school site would be districtname.edu/highschool.

We would rather not have individual Joomla installations for each school as it would make it nearly impossible to share information between them.

What are your thoughts on this? Does anyone have any examples of this software being used for a large public school site that is divided into subdomains? Thanks

Yes you can use JMS to create your 12 mini-sites.

We already have schools that use JMS.
For example for different project or department of a school
For student inside the school,
For branches of a school.

Your request is similar to companies with dealers or branches and this is possible to do that.

If you want to share some articles between websites, you can also do that with the additional "Article Sharing for JMS".
